Following college I worked as an intern for the Pennsylvania Legislative Correspondents’ Association covering the Pennsylvania legislature. That included a special election, budget talks, a multimillion dollar tax abatement deal and more.
While a student at the University of Pittsburgh I worked at The Pitt News as a reporter, editor and eventually editor in chief. While there I covered police actions and arrests at the G-20 protests as well as campus crime, a proposed student tax and more. While editor in chief I helped shepherd the newspaper through a series of more than 100 bomb threats that rocked the campus.
